Manchán Maganhas made countless travel documentaries on remote cultures around the world for the Travel Channel & TG4. He has written books on his travels in Africa, India and South America, and wrote the Magan’s World travel column for the Irish Times. For Ard BIa The House Manchán will talk at how to transform the sights, sounds and soul of a journey into engaging prose, whether for either personal memoir, travel journalism or literature. Manchán says, "At its heart travel writing is simply good storytelling – a gripping narrative with believable characters and an evocative sense of place. It’s very simple - a straightforward narrative structure, now how can we use it to capture the depths of our soul?"
